name of the tribe is placed correctly, historical information will be displayed on that American Indian group. Ray said the physical board game worked in a similar way by using push pins with the tribes’ names, which then would be placed on a New Mexico map attached to a board. Now users simply click and drag the tribes’ names. The app was developed by the university’s Learning Games Lab, which has created earlyeducation applications for the iPad in the past and was funded by the university’s American Indian program, McHorse said. McHorse said that even though there are other reference-type applications about American Indians, this is the first app that focuses on New Mexico’s American Indian tribes. The app, which was uploaded to the App Store in September, was announced late last week by the university. McHorse said officials in the American Indian program would work with developers in the future to allow users to download the app on other tablets and smartphones. Tazbah McCullah, the marketing director for the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, said that the application will help non-native people understand the state’s tribes much better. “Anything that’s going to put out accurate information about the tribes and make it fun and perhaps peak the interest of actually visiting one of the pueblos, sounds like an innovative way to draw attention to learn about the cultures,” McCullah said.

In brief Pueblo to get flood assistance SANTA CLARA PUEBLO — More than $2.8 million in federal funds are being made available to Santa Clara Pueblo to help with flood recovery. The money will go toward the installation of debris collection structures. The structures will reduce the flow of runoff being washed into the side canyons that lead to Santa Clara Creek Canyon. The pueblo became eligible for funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a result of a disaster declaration that was made in August 2012 in response to severe flooding that summer. The flooding was the result of runoff from the Las Conchas burn scar. The 2011 wildfire raced across more than 230 square miles, including lands held sacred by the pueblo. Members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation say the pueblo has waited too long for the relief funds.
Udall addresses drug abuse LOS LUNAS — U.S. Sen. Tom Udall says steps need to be taken in New Mexico and across the country to curb escalating problems stemming from the abuse and trafficking of prescription drugs. The New Mexico Democrat met Friday in Los Lunas with medical experts and law enforcement to discuss their current strategies and the challenges they still face in tackling the problems. Udall also unveiled legislation aimed at preventing prescription drug abuse and improving treatment options. Udall’s legislation would expand medical education training and the use of timely data to ensure patients receive prescriptions safely and legally. The Associated Press

CNN series Parts Unknown, ate a Frito pie on camera, telling his viewers, “It feels like you’re holding warm crap in a bag,” and claiming, inaccurately, it’s made from “canned Hormel chili and day-glow orange cheese-like substance.” The insults angered many New Mexicans. Many didn’t seem to hear him when he called it delicious — if indeed a guilty pleasure. “I find the Frito pie experience like binge tequila drinking in a strip club,” he said. Potter said the store received hundreds of calls from well wishers and that Bourdain didn’t hurt sales. “We had our best October ever,” Potter told a reporter. The panelists seemed to agree that Bourdain was correct when he said the Frito pie comes from Texas, not New Mexico. The founder of the Frito-Lay company was Elmer Doolin, who was a Texan. Panelist Estevan Arellano, a historian, poet and farmer from Embudo, said the first time he tasted a Frito pie was at the old Woolworth’s on the Plaza (the precursor of the Five & Dime) in the early 1960s. “It was something we never ate at home, you know,” he said. “Now my wife makes excellent Frito pies.” The panel’s moderator, Rocky Durham of the Santa Fe Culinary Academy, said, “One thing I love about the culture here in New Mexico is how the Frito pie has really been embraced. And now it’s a real vehicle of the community. When you go to some rodeo or there’s a fundraiser for some Girl Scout camping trip,

or the football team wants to buy new uniforms, the Frito pie is often a vehicle to make that happen.” Durham, who is a Santa Fe native, said his first Frito pie experience also was at Woolworth’s. He said he’s “very rigid in my acceptance of what a Frito pie is.” First of all, he said, it has to be served in the bag and eaten with a plastic spork with only a “flimsy napkin” available. “There should be a wardrobe danger when it comes to Frito pie consumption,” he said. Gustavo Arellano, author of the nationally syndicated Ask a Mexican column, said in Southern California where he lives there is a very similar treat, except there it’s called a “Chile billy.” He said a reporter from Iowa told him about a Midwestern version that uses a bag of Fritos topped with ground beef, lettuce and taco sauce. These are called “walking tacos,” said Arellano, who confessed he’s never eaten one. “I still want to have it,” he
said, though he added, “I don’t think it would be as good as a Frito pie.” Not everyone on the panel was a Frito pie devotee. Dave DeWitt, founder of The Fiery Foods Show, said, “I have eaten this dish one time and didn’t like it, and I’ll never eat it again. I don’t know why I’m on this panel. I wouldn’t eat Fritos when I was a kid. I thought they were way too salty.” DeWitt jokingly suggested someone invent a sushi Frito pie. Durham said just this weekend he introduced the Cheeto pie. “I do like that there’s a real connection between this simple indulgence, this junk food … and our ancient roots,” Durham said. “Ancient roots, the Frito going back to 1935,” Gustavo Arellano joked, referring to the date Fritos first were marketed. “It’s corn and beans and chile,” Durham said. “There’s a lot I think is noble about the humble Frito pie.”

“sport-hunted elephant trophy mount” to a Florida buyer for $8,100, violating the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Kokesh, 65, came to Santa Fe in the late 1980s from the Bay Area of California where he ran venture-capital funds that have run into trouble. In 2009, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused him of misappropriating some $45 million from customers of those funds — in what the SEC said was the first case it has ever brought in New Mexico. Last month, an Albuquerque judge set a trial in the civil case for May. Last summer, Kokesh and his wife, Marla, were forced to leave their home at 708 Camino Corrales after more than four years of legal wrangling in a foreclosure case alleging that they had failed to keep up with payments on a $4.3 million mortgage. The couple also have lost their equestrian center near Santa Fe to a foreclosure. Kokesh did not spend any time in jail for the elephant-tusk charges.

nomination for the 3rd Congressional District in 2010, was released from jail last week after pleading guilty in Washington, D.C., last week to charges of openly carrying firearms within the district limits. Adam Kokesh, a talk-radio host, political provocateur and gun-rights advocate, had proposed a march of people with guns into the District of Columbia on July 4. He canceled the demonstration but uploaded a video of himself loading a shotgun a block from the White House that day, prompting an investigation that led to a search of his home in Northern Virginia where police say they found hallucinogenic mushrooms. Kokesh was freed after pleading guilty to several gun charges as well as a charge of marijuana possession that was filed previous to July 4. Conditions of release call for him not to possess firearms of any kind, to report to authorities weekly and not to enter the District of Columbia except for legal appointments. He is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 17, when he faces up to six years in jail on all charges.
